The Firefox Reality content feed also continues to expand andhas added cult director/designer Keiichi Matsuda's video series,including his latest creation,Merger.

Keiichi's work explores how emerging technology will impact our future lives. His earlier video HYPER-REALITY presents a provocative and kaleidoscopic new vision of the future,where physical and virtual realities have merged,and the city is saturated in media. His new film Merger is about the future of work. Set against the backdrop of AI-run corporations,a woman finds herself caught between virtual and physical reality,human and machine. As she fights for her economic survival,she finds herself immersed in the cult of productivity,in search of the ultimate interface. This short film documents her last 4 minutes on earth.
